I'd wear ties to go on job interviews in Hawaii and on the mainland.
Normally, a guy from Hawaii would never wear a tie but you gots to use
everything you got to get a job. I'd recommend wearing a tie to any job
seeker. OTOH, if you're trying to get a job at Taco Bell, you're just
going to look like a big doofus.

Of course, I'm not talking about a bow tie. OTOH, if you're trying to
get a job as a circus clown, it probably wouldn't hurt...

For whatever reason, he grates people. I think he's amusing,
generally. I like his shows and published stuff. He's okay

Here too. Mostly very short and nicely trimmed, but some are massive and
bushy ... ugh.

The biggest fashion fail I've ever seen. Guess young men are running
out of ideas.

Another stupid one is the mustache that hangs down about 8-12" as
shown on that Alaska reality show. The large family that lives in the
wilderness.

Back when I was married (gasp) my wife always wanted me to grow a
beard. I had a mustache occasionally but never a beard.

Finally, one christmas vacation, I was off work for about 10 days and
I told her I would grow a beard. Only then because one makes me feel
like an unshaven bum and all that facial hair annoyed me. I figured I
could avoid going out in public looking like that.

I quit shaving on a Thursday. I was planning to go for the entire 10
days and see what I had. Those first 4 days drove me crazy. Monday
morning, I shaved it all off and was happy. The wife got really mad at
me for that. Screw her. It was my face.

Same where I am, short and trimmed. I don't like those big out of control
beards either, and also that *I haven't shaved for 3 or 4 days* look that
becomes popular every few years and makes them look like they just crawled
out of a dumpster. :-)

One of my clients is a manufacturer of products to be used on beards.
A beard is part of the male hipster look these days.

Don't know how long the trend will last, but it is certainly on the
upswing based on the data I have seen and their sales numbers.

My husband has a beard. The only product he uses on it is soap
and water.

Something like this:

Yeah. My husband totally looks like that, especially when I don't
have my glasses on.

In your particular case, wasn't it the "ex-GF" who should have shaved "her" face...???

That's a trending thing, you know! Women shaving their face.

I came across a picture of my ex, wow, all I can say is he's
a fabulous guy because that beard! Yikes.

Usually it's the other way around. He's sick of shaving and wants to
grow a beard. She doesn't want to even have to look at that thing.

I hate shaving, so I frequently grow a beard. Maybe I am lucky to have
fast growing whiskers. It only takes me about two weeks to grow a beard.
I keep it on for a while and then shave it off. It comes and goes so
often that friends no longer notice.

Mine too, but then most of the older men around here do have beards. I don't
care for it that much, but hey...he doesn't tell me how to wear my hair etc.
and at least he does keep it neat and trimmed so it doesn't look all shag
nasty. :-)

The George Clooney beard style looks fine to me. Just not those long
unattended mountain-man beards. Those are weird and those guys growing
them will never score@

Had to be scared of all the raging you do here.

I suspect that's been a fixture in your relationships with women too.

Has to be.

You're a flaccid little punk that would easily be driven into the ground
by a real man.

Perhaps not. Turns out the beard fell out of fashion in the early
20th century due to the discovery that tuberculosis was passed by
coughing and that the infectuous sputum might rest on one's own
whiskers. We are now seeing multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis
(MDR-TB), so the beard may go the way of the slide rule, once more.

I've worn a van dyke for years, but only cuz my fuller beard looks
terrible. I let it grow out a bit in Winter to keep my face warm.

I don't really think they think it looks attractive, I just think they're
going through a lazy phase. ;-)

I will take you word for it, but I don't think they would present themselves
to young ladies in such a manner if they didn't think they looked great <g>

Are you talking about the look that was made popular on a TV show in - I
think - the 1980's? Don something. Not attractive, dude, did you
forget to shave or is that dirt on your face?

Maybe the mountain men don't care about "scoring" because they live on a
mountain with a bunch of other men. (I have no idea!)

A local computer repair guy has a beard I'd describe like the one on the
right side of the the old Smith Brothers cough drops box. It was a tad
startling when I first met him. But his beard was neatly trimmed and it
definitely suited his personality. He was also bald so unless he wants
to look like an egg, growing facial hair is his option. Who am I to judge?

You can still buy those Smith Brothers cough drops, BTW:

I don't trust men with beards, makes them appear smarmy, can't read
their facial expression so I just assume they are lying. Whenever I
go shopping for a major purchase and the salesman is bearded I walk
out. I don't trust people with facial piercings either. Women with
pierced tongues are a big turn off, pierced nipples are a major
mutilation. Tats don't bother me so long as they are tasteful and not
have so many running into each other that they look like carnival
sideshow freaks.

I pretty much assume any salesman is lying. They're like politicians:
they'll say anything to get your vote.

I don't seem to have any trouble reading my husband's facial expression.
He's had a beard since before we met.

Many years ago I grew a full beard, people told me that beard made me
look like my brother, he has a full beard... but he's a flaming
faggot... I couldn't get to my Gilette fast enough. Faggots grow
beards because it's the only [pseudo] manly thing they can do. Faggots
grow beards for one reason and one reason only, it makes their face
look like a ****.
